QMs need to make all battles have at least twice the number of enemies as there are party members and have more attacks that hit multiple party members. Berserkers and assassins will be slowed down by trying to keep themselves alive with potions and/or if they one shot a target there are still others to provide a challenge with free hits.

En Sabah Nur returned to the Hall after much practice with his water bending elemental spells. He saw the chosen members for quest 19 and let out a large guffaw for many minutes. "HAHAHAH Good luck with those love birds, Ogre. Try not to puke too much." Nur shook his head while he continued to laugh and made his way up the stairs. "Oh, have fun there, Haldor. I know it'll be difficult concentrating on healing your party with your elven distraction but I have faith you'll keep your mind on the task ahead." He made it to the top of the stairway and ordered a couple of chicken legs...fried.

@Quest 13 Cool to see confused effect in action, Rumble. How you handled it makes since to me. Maybe Sarick can use the magic hair brush for a chance to revive Nerwen. Clerics not healing = a no no.

Aw, I thought as a former ranger your summons would be animals from various planes...like a hawk for air or a penguin for your opal.

OOC: No, that's good enough. :-D With tears in her eyes, Ameli watched as her hero left without a word. All that needed to be said was done so in the kiss. All the heroes have now left the Szalinski property and are back on the streets of Eubric. [ EPILOGUE ] The Maa'ri returned to their home and contemplated seeking the Hall's assistance in the rescue of their lost family. Moranis continued to develop his inventions and drew the attention of the other Eubric houses... Oliveri began secretly training on his own with daggers and swords hoping to one day join the Hall. Nico continued to cry for no reason. Thanks to the party shoving oatmeal cookie pie after oatmeal cookie pie down the gnomeling's throat, young Nico's sugary treat addiction exploded exponentially. He became morbidly obese which led to his father creating the Traversing Round Eubric At your Domicile Mill (T.R.E.A.D. Mill), name still in the works. In the coming months, Ameli was no longer able to hide her pregnant belly. The Szalinski parents hid her away until the baby was born. Everyone was shocked when momma Szalinski came out with the baby. They were all surprised further when she came out with a second child. Ameli had twins! The End? QM Note: Yay, done. Gj folks. No more posting in this thread! Any mod available to close topic?

The goblins skipped to a cheery tune as they left. "Sylvania, Sylvania. I wanna spend some time with ya, So we can get inside of ya! Sylvania, Sylvania!"

OOC: Hahah Tesni. - "Oh really? I'm sorry I missed the action! Thank you for taking care of my youngin's! Fare thee well, Heroes of Heroica!" Szalinski's feather's were ruffled a bit by the knight's stern talking to and he peered over the rim of his glasses to make sure his wife wasn't listening. The orcs nodded at the heroes' advice. The leader respectfully extended his arm to the barbarian.

OOC: Heh, nope. Moving on, Mercutio's Dagger of Mugging Dagger defaults to Tesni.

Tesni gives each party member 100 gold leaving 130 gold for the defeated greenskin party. The warrior begins to stir when he sees Haldor's offering at his feet. "What the...?" Before his vision clears, the goblin engineer quickly scoops up the coins. "For repairs!" The orcs recover and approach the party with their weapons sheathed. "Enjoy my daggers." There was no venom in the rogue's voice. "It is our custom to take the trophies from the defeated...it's been awhile since I've been beaten." "Aye. Her is right. Us thank you for gold. Us wouldn't normally take it but us do need it. Szinski tell us to stand over there when us ready to go home." The orc points to a spot a mere six studs away. The party walks to the designated spot. They look up to see Moranis Szalinski's gigantic eye looking down on them through a magnifying glass. His eye widens as he sees his children intact. He opens his mouth to voice his excitement but all the party hears is a loud BOOM! Szalinski directs the party and The Maa'ri clan to stand apart. He scoops up the orcs and puts them in front of the Microfigunator 7268 to enlarge them. He does the same for the Heroica group. There doesn't seem to be any side effects upon enlarging. The orcs talk briefly with Moranis before somberly walking away. Only the warrior looks back. "Well well well! Thank you very much for savin' me youngins and bringing them back in good condition, too! Phew and before my wife got home! Here is the 1000 gold as promised. I'll be sure to put in a good word with the Ji Pei for all of you! Did you run into much trouble out there? I hope the items I dispersed throughout the yard proved useful." The inventor placed his thumbs at the arm holes of his vest and rocked back and forth on his toes. "As for you three, I'll deal with your punishments later. Say your goodbyes so these fine heroes can get some well earned rest." Ameli walked up to Haldor and gave him a kiss on the cheek. - Honey, who are all these people? QM Note: Feel free to say your goodbyes, chase after the orcs, return to the Hall etc.!

I wish the players in my last fight had rolled Special Damage this much.

The young gnome consumes the party's entire supply of oatmeal cookie pies. Om nom nom nom. BURP! The treats and Hoke's talk improve the boy's condition to Good. Though satisfied, tears still run down his face. It doesn't look like he can be cheered up any further. "Thank you, mister. Here, I want you to have this." Paper Doll (Artefact) - Provides Hexed immunity. With another piece of loot to distribute, the party is eager to return to normal size as the orcs begin to stir.

"You're so kind to my family, Haldor. I hope these brutes' story hasn't completely tainted your opinion of The Righteous Light. The husband of our cousin twice removed follows Ennoc's teachings and he's a nice guy." - Nom nom nom. "Still hungry over here." "Hey Tesni, if there aren't any takers you can leave the knives with me. I'm going to be a kick-butt rogue when I grow up! Or maybe a knight...I won't hurt myself, I promise!" "I'm sure our heroes can find someone at the Heroica Hall who could use the daggers immediately as opposed to years from now, Oliveri."

The party is relentless as Alexis hits the mage (15) driving him into position for Tesni's attack (19) which leaves the feeble mage with 6 health. Again, Hoke the Finisher walks up to his target and sends him into darkness with a single punch. The lesser stone golem immediately crumples into dust as its master is no longer conscious to animate it. The engineer throws a wrench from behind his cart but it bounces harmlessly off Hoke's shield. Ellaria sneaks around behind the goblin and clocks him on the head for 21 damage.

The third and final Szalinski child is saved but he still appears to be in fair condition. The orc party is unconscious and most likely won't awaken until the party has settled its loot. "I'm hungry." What will the party do?

I don't think En Sabah Nur will be signing up for a quest soon. He's a meddler but doesn't like to get involved in large-scale world changing events. Nur's a little xenophobic so parties over 5 people make him a bit nervous. funny.

His brother rejoices as he gets the artillery cart operational again. Unfortunately his efforts are wasted as the barbarian female rages against the orc party. She swiftly focuses on her primary target. Not wanting him to teleport again, Tesni doesn't even take the instant to raise her blade and instead chooses to lower her shoulder and tackle the mage. With Cysgodion's dark aura surrounding her, Tesni inflicts double damage to the mage but since he's standing in the back row, he receives normal damage (22). She continues her assault on the orcs by slicing a chunk from the stone golem (22) before charging the rogue. Failing to learn from her leader's mistake, the orc rogue attempts to parry the woman's strike with her daggers. Cysgodion knocks the daggers to the ground and Tesni pounds the disarmed rogue until she no longer moves (44). Continuing down the enemy battle order, Tesni chases the twins and catches a goblin in each hand. She cracks their helmeted skulls together before tossing them aside (44 each). The ranger attempts to hide behind the recently repaired artillery cart but Tesni slices through it, destroying the cart before kicking the ranger (44). The orc's loyal hound lunges at the berserker who sticks out a single heavily muscled arm and catches the beast by the neck. She brings it close to her face as the hound writhes and gnashes his teeth. Tesni squeezes until the hound goes silent (22). She releases the limp dog as dark tendrils continue to swirl around her. The orc archer lies on the ground, barely clinging to consciousness. What the barbarian did do his dog was unforgiveable. Hoping to get his revenge, the orc weakly put an arrow to his bow. Before he could release his shot, Hoke calmly walks to the archer, kicks his bow aside and punches him in the face, knocking him out cold (19). Seeing so many of their comrades fall, the engineer and mage decide to target the clerics hoping to cut off the party's restorative power. The goblin throws a wrench at Haldor who is hit for 4 damage. The mage blasts Ellaria with an earth spell hitting her (4) and Alexis (1) for half damage. The demolitionist takes a point of damage from the poison and Alexis is hit for one damage from the stone golem. End round 4. Enemies: Weary Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - "Hey! I just fixed that!"

OOC: Order of posts used for battle order this round... Results of Round Three Battle versus Tired Maa'ri Orcs >Hoke Ablesword uses Item - Phoenix Essence (Tesni) >Ellaria Arbour uses Item - Phoenix Essence (Alexis) Tesni Hightribe vs. Weary Maa'ri Mage - Miss Haldor Skovgaard vs. Maa'ri Rogue - Shield (Miracle) >Alexis Fenral vs. Weary Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Shield (Tripleshot) >Alexis Fenral vs. Weary Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Special Damage (Retrofit) Maa'ri Ranger vs. Hoke Ablesword - Free Hit Maa'ri Hound vs. Ellaria Arbour - Free Hit Lesser Stone Golem vs. Tesni Hightribe - Free Hit Round three is dedicated to recovering. Hoke Ablesword and Ellaria Arbour tend to their unconscious friends with vials of phoenix essences. Tesni recovers first and notices the mage creeping within range and preparing to cast a spell. She hops to her feet, sprints towards him and takes a swing. The mage evades in his signature rock pile technique but the barbarian was successful in interrupting whatever devastating spell the old orc was about to unleash. Haldor receives a miracle and heals the entire party even though they're all at full health. Alexis fires off a few arrows and hits targets in the enemy battle order starting from her primary target. She hits the demolitionist (22), ranger (22) and hound (22) preventing the enemy from taking a proper respite. The engineer rushes to his artillery cart to make some modifications.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted. QM Note: ---

My precious warrior! I was hoping he'd get to use his Taunt special making everyone target him allow his companions to score free hits but nooooo! In case anyone following wants to know how that massive hit was calculated (I think it is correct ). A Barbarian's /roll of 2 is "Extra Critical Hit". Other classes' /roll is simply "Critical Hit". The barbarian's critical hit is calculated by taking their Weapon Power, multiplying it by 3 then adding it to their player level (level rounded down) whereas other classes multiply WP by 2 then added to player level (level rounded down). In Tesni's case, the weapon power on Cysgodion is 8. 8 x 3 = 24. 24 added to Tesni's level 14(14.5) = 38. Tesni's extra critical hit was 38 damage. Since she was under the effect of mead/encouraged, she dealt double damage 38 * 2 = 76. The amethyst(darkness) gem on Cysgodion doubles the damage dealt against the orc as darkness is very effective versus humanoids 76 * 2 = 152. The orc warrior had 10 points of SP 152-10 = 142 total damage dealt by Tesni. With his 130 health points, he didn't stand a chance.

OOC: Oh that sucks, I didn't know that. - "Come on, Haldor! You've got a free shot at the stinky mage that had you and my sister encased in rock!" - "No, Haldor! Finish that sneaky orc! I don't like the way she's looking at you. "

Sandy, Captain JP and I are secretly conspiring to delay the 14.5s from reaching 15...until January 2012! Heh heh J/k

Results of Round Two Battle versus Tired Maa'ri Orcs Tesni Hightribe vs. Weary Maa'ri Mage - Damage Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Warrior - Extra Critical Hit >Alexis Fenral vs. Weary Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Special Damage (Dynamite Toss) >Alexis Fenral vs. Maa'ri Rogue - Damage Hoke Ablesword vs. Weary Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Shield (Sentinel)/Damage Haldor Skovgaard vs. Maa'ri Ranger - Special Damage (Rain of Arrows) Ellaria Arbour vs. Maa'ri Hound - Shield (Miracle) Lesser Stone Golem vs. Hoke Ablesword - Free Hit It's leader versus leader as Tesni charges the orc warrior. But true to their nature, the orcs don't play fair. The old mage takes the opportunity to blast the barbarian in the back (-7) with the resulting shrapnel showering everyone in the front row (-2). The spell enrages the woman as she raises Cysgodion and blows through the warrior's shield. The orc's heavy armor isn't thick enough to protect him from the encouraged barbarian's attack as he's KO'D (142). OMG! Everyone on the field of battle pauses with mouths agape as the proud warrior collapses under the berzerker's impressive strike. Instead of fleeing like the lesser members of their kin, the orc party rallies around their fallen leader. The goblin explosives expert throws some dynamite damaging everyone (-5). The treacherous rogue evades Alexis's arrows to get in close to knee her in the ribs (-3). Hoke decides it's best to prepare to defend his teammates the next round by assuming the sentinel position. The orc archer smirks as he lets his arrows fly. The first finds Tesni (-5) which knocks her out due to the previous attacks she received. The next two arrows follow the battle order hitting Alexis twice for double damage. Because the orc's special ignores row position and he does double damage versus elves, Alexis feels the full brunt of his assault and is ko'd (-20). Again the sight of a fallen friend triggers the healing energies within Ellaria and she restores the conscious members' health to full. Ablesword ignores the pounding of the stone golem as he stares blankly at his companions lying on the ground. The demolitionist and ranger take one point of damage from Alexis's poison. A bittersweet round for both sides as each team takes a moment to regroup. Enemies: Maa'ri Rogue- "Do not waver!"

Results of Round One Battle versus Tired Maa'ri Orcs Tesni Hightribe vs. Weary Maa'ri Mage - Miss Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Rogue - Hit >Alexis Fenral vs. Artillery Cart - Critical Hit >Alexis Fenral vs. Weary Goblin Demolitionist - Shield (Tripleshot) Hoke Ablesword vs. Weary Goblin Engineer - Hit/Miss Haldor Skovgaard vs. Maa'ri Ranger - Hit Ellaria Arbour vs. Maa'ri Hound - Hit Maa'ri Warrior vs. Tesni Hightribe - Free Hit Lesser Stone Golem vs. Tesni Hightribe - Free Hit OOC: You're in the first two slots of the battle order so hit twice, ouch! Tesni attempts to take out multpile targets in one shot by destroying the mage. Her blade seems to connect with the wizard but the orc crumbles once again and reforms in another location, unharmed. Spotting an opening in the rogue's defense, Tesni attacks her for massive damage (88) dropping the orc to her knees. Alexis's lightning charged arrows are extra effective against the artillery cart as a wheel falls off (60). The ranger nocks three arrows and takes aim at one of the goblins before firing. She hits each target following the enemy battle order from the demolitionist; the demolitionist (22), the artillery cart (44), and the orc archer (22). The artillery cart is disabled while Alexis's other two targets are poisoned. Hoke struggles to connect his blade with his nimble target so strikes out with his boot, sending the engineer rolling (19). Haldor swings and hits the ranger with his rod (19). Ellaria once again showing no hesisitation in harming poor defenseless animals, quickly strikes at the Maa'ri puppy with her despicable fire staff (42). Seeing the large barbarian stand over his companion about to give a final blow, the orc warrior charges Tesni from behind and hits her with his shield (-5). The blow knocks poor Tesni into the waiting arms of the mage's stone golem (-2). The demolitionist and the ranger each take one point of damage from the poison. Our heroes aren't messing around.
